Chapter 33: Game Hall (1/2)
Once players showed a tendency to attack, spatial isolation would occur. How could this thing make his health bar red?!
“The Siren’s Fishbone.” Bai Liu didn’t mean to cover it up. He opened his clothes and gave Mu Sicheng a look at the fishbone around his waist. Bai Liu didn’t realize it but the fishbone shrank a bit and wrapped around Bai Liu’s waist tightly, covering up all the possible exposed skin.
Bai Liu spoke frankly. “You should’ve seen this item in my list of rewards.”
This was also the reason why Bai Liu didn’t hide it. This thing had been ‘put out for public display’ by the system so he didn’t have any thoughts about hiding the function. The existence of the ‘live broadcast’ and ‘forum’ mentioned by Wang Shun meant that the moment Bai Liu used the item in the game, sooner or later everyone would know the function. Hiding it from the outside world was completely unnecessary.
However, his personal skill was special and could be hidden. It was a good trump card and Bai Liu would hide it for as long as possible.
Even so, Bai Liu was also blind to the specific function of the item. It required experimentation. Bai Liu just didn’t want to experiment in a game because the risk was too great. If this item failed against a monster then Bai Liu could easily die. The best way was to experiment outside the game to determine the function. Then he could use it directly in a game.
Experiments needed an experimental subject. Bai Liu thought that Mu Ke, who was trapped and dying, was a good one. He would be a highly obedient experimental subject.
Bai Liu was originally not prepared to experiment with Mu Sicheng but Mu Sicheng’s hands were too cheap and touched it directly. This made Bai Liu realize that his fishbone whip could attack people in the system hall. In other words, it was indeed possible to tear space.
“It is said that it can tear time and space. I am going to try with Mu Ke.” Bai Liu looked at Mu Ke on the TV and naturally raised his whip.
Wang Shun was in a state of confusion and couldn’t understand Bai Liu’s thoughts at all. “Wait! What are you going to do Bai Liu? What if you throw the whip straight in and kill Mu Ke?”
Mu Sicheng was quick to react to what Bai Liu was going to do and sneered. “Are you ready to save him? You’re so kind.”
“No,” Bai Liu smiled. “I’m not saving him. It is a trade.”
Bai Liu drew the fishbone whip from his waist and shook his wrists. He took a deep breath, lifted the fishbone and waved it at Mu Ke’s TV.
For a moment, Bai Liu felt that his left hand holding the whip seemed extremely heavy. The fishbone that was barely swung hit the transparent barrier around the small TV and quickly fell down. It was just that this small thing caused the seabed in Mu Ke’s small TV to shake. Then the TV flickered like there was a bad signal.
Everything around Bai Liu shattered into a glass-like scene the moment the whip fell. Mu Sicheng and Wang Shun’s appearance became blurred like a poorly connected TV and the characters inside were distorted.
Bai Liu was in total darkness but he could clearly hear the sound of the waves from Mu Ke’s small TV as well as the tearful Mu Ke’s hysterical cries for help. Mu Ke seemed to realize that someone had come to the bottom of the sea and started to cry out frantically for help.
“Who is going to save me?!” Mu Ke knelt down in the broken water bubble at the bottom of the sea and shed tears. “I am willing to do anything! Please help me!”
Bai Liu wanted to wave the whip again but the system suddenly issued a warning.
[System warning: The use of this item consumes a lot of player Bai Liu’s physical strength. Based on the player’s physical strength, it can’t be used again. The forced use of physical strength will reduce it to a negative number and you will be forcibly sent out of the game.]
Bai Liu gave up in an instant. [So am I now in the same latitude as Mu Ke?]
[System: In the process of calculation… the latitude of the player Bai Liu and the player Mu Ke has overlapped due to some type of attack. Player Bai Liu’s latitude is in the crack of the torn latitude and only sound can spread. No image can spread and simple transactions can barely be carried out.]
“Sound?” Bai Liu was thoughtful before whispering Mu Ke’s name. “Mu Ke.”
Mu Ke suddenly howled and crawled through the bubble like a bereaved dog. “I’m here! Who are you? Save me!”
“I am a wanderer,” Bai Liu whispered while watching the TV. It was difficult to see this sobbing man as the arrogant young master.
In a way, Bai Liu had become a poor wanderer due to Mu Ke’s whim. Now Mu Ke was desperately asking for help from the wanderer he drove away and this wanderer would use a terrible deal to take away the only valuable thing left on Mu Ke.
It was a very logical chain cycle.
